I got a 10K quicksilver snow jack for snowboarding some years. It is quiet reliable in view of only a thousand dollar. For sure it can't compare with few thousand gore-tex, and also should depend on what kind of trail u r going.

And there is a question about 3 layer system for skiing and the snow pant.

I know the base layer is to absorb the sweat from the body so i purchased sub zero base layer. Also the most outer layer is the jacket to resist water and breathable (eg. 10k/10k).
So how about the middle layer ( eg. fleece?) Any spec regarding it? Any brand recommend with fairly price?

How about the pant? It is 2 layer system (i.e base layer and pant )?.... I have already bought a sub zero
base layer, but i wonder which type of pant should i buy. I think there is 2 types of it: one is thin one like normal hiking pant, another is thick one. i don't know which type of it i should buy if i wear the sub zero base layer. Any spec regarding it? Snow skirt? Water resistance..etc?

Hi, For the base layer, I tried the Nike Combat Hyperwarm compression when going to Hakuba last week. They were warm and well breathed. And most importantly, they were much cheaper. Only ard HK$300-400. And can be use in the gym as well.

For mid layer, depends on how cold you feel that day. It supposes to be a bit loose fit and will provide u more insulation.

So it's very personal to pick your layering. If your feet always cold, maybe u need to layer your lower body better. I myself always go with 2 layers lower body unless it is lower than -15c, but may not work for u.
